Sacker...Thanks for visiting, Susan, Am and George.<br /><br />Sackerson: I absolutely agree with you, Dominic. When you've made the effort to get to the Lakes, there's a great temptation to do the big ones (as I did the time before this — when I walked half the Kentmere Horseshoe). But the views from some of the smaller hills can sometimes be even better. Like you, I've circled Tarn Hows — though I did find this walk a little tame and touristy. I'm not a serious peak bagger — though I do keep a list!

But Ruth's idea sounds very practical - maps, pamphlets, whole books by the Solitary Walker could be on sale in all those shops where walkers go??dritanjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025213970107184429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-45355319072685451262014-06-24T23:33:25.571+01:002014-06-24T23:33:25.571+01:00Interesting to learn that there are pockets of pin...Interesting to learn that there are pockets of pine in that lovely landscape.

After all, if you travel all the way to Cumbria, it seems reasonable to do something "big". But there's so much else to do - like this. <br /><br />I've been on a few small scale excursions around the Lake District (Tarn Hows, Beacon Tarn and Peel Island on Coniston Water spring to mind) but you've whetted my apetite for them lumpy hills.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-72856250709973062542014-06-24T18:35:57.138+01:002014-06-24T18:35:57.138+01:00So beautiful!
